Import/Export Not an Option

[Charles]

Hi,

I am trying to copy my Inbox emails to a pst file so I can have a backup
(and put them on a CD or external hard drive).

The Office tutorial says to choose "File>Import and Export", however there
is no Import and Export option listed under my File menu.

Could you please tell me how I can make a backup of my Inbox emails?

Thanks,
Charles

version of outlook? if you are using a pst you can just copy it as your back
up.
see http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/filepath.htm if you need help
finding your pst file.

You would not use import or export for this.
But since that isn't your question, verify that you installed Outlook's
importers and exporters from the Office CD.
